Simsy Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 im a big fan of this tune, was a big sound at stafford top of the world Phil Shields looked in a sec ago, was hoping he'd tell us what he paid for his. Recent spin at Rugby - sounds superb! Danny Everard used to play this at the Fleet back in 1985.

Danny Everard used to play this at the Fleet back in 1985. DIDN'T PAY VERY MUCH ABOUT 100 IF I REMEMBER MAYBE 2 YEARS AGO NOW

Simsy Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Not that good really, is it!!! Well as the Blue Jays would say ....
Denbo Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Well as the Blue Jays would say .... Blue Jays? Aren't they a Baseball team?
Denbo Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Well as the Blue Jays would say .... Or, perhaps; The Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is a passerine bird, and a member of the family Corvidae native to North America. It belongs to the "blue" or American jays, which are, among the Corvidae, not closely related to other jays. It is adaptable, aggressive and omnivorous, and has been colonizing new habitat for many decades. Please enlighten us?
Chalky Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Blue Jays? Aren't they a Baseball team? dunno, depends on your point of view
Denbo Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) dunno, depends on your point of view Well of course it does, that's my point. The record is obscure UK release but it ain't that good. Edited January 2, 2009 by denbo
Chalky Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Well of course it does, that's my point. The record is obscure UK release but it ain't that good. I know, I'm not saying otherwise, it was also Simsy's point when he said as the Blue Jays said and you asked to be enlightened
Denbo Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I know, I'm not saying otherwise, it was also Simsy's point when he said as the Blue Jays said and you asked to be enlightened But what is the meaning of the Blue Jays? Don't get it. Sorry, call me thick, by all means, but . . . . . ???
Chalky Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 But what is the meaning of the Blue Jays? Don't get it. Sorry, call me thick, by all means, but . . . . . ??? It's a record called It Depends On Your Point Of View by the Blue Jays. Simsy was trying to say in response to your "its not very good" that it "Depends on your point of view".
Denbo Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 It's a record called It Depends On Your Point Of View by the Blue Jays. Simsy was trying to say in response to your "its not very good" that it "Depends on your point of view". Oh, I see. Now I understand. Don't know the record he was referring to so it meant nothing to me when quoted. But thanks for the explanation.
Pete S Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Mick bought that from Luton record fait the other week - phoned me up, said this blokes got some reggae singles here, he wants 250 for them, is it worth it? So I added them up and got about 500 quid and he said, oh yeah, theres a soul joe clements in there as well - so that was 250 for the lot including soul joe clements. I'd have taken the reggae and paid him to keep the soul joe...

Benji Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Haters (other than Pete-S) ? Yes, me. Such a crap tune, can't believe it it got and still gets played. No wonder we had an oil crisis in the early 70s when it was wasted to press crap like this...
Simsy Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Don't know the record he was referring to Blue Jays!!? Sorry I sort of thought that was one everyone knew?

No wonder we had an oil crisis in the early 70s when it was wasted to press crap like this... That's fair enough. As said opinion devided on this. Amazing though, some of the piss boring shite my friends cite as real soul goodies and there's this - Uptempo Storming Dancer Northern Soul ... What more do you want on simco?

Sjclement Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Yes, me. Such a crap tune, can't believe it it got and still gets played. No wonder we had an oil crisis in the early 70s when it was wasted to press crap like this... I like it......... could be something to do with the artist's name?
Simsy Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 I like it......... could be something to do with the artist's name? Are you Soul Joe Clements? Or are you Tom Selleck?
Bigsoulman Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I thought Mick Smith was "valleyofsouls" on Ebay?
Rugby Soul Club Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I was watching it but far too pricey the way it's going... Me finks I'll just nick Phil's when he's over next...
Simsy Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 I thought Mick Smith was "valleyofsouls" on Ebay?
Simsy Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Pete were you just on Ch4 News, fire in Staffs..? (sorry for off topic).
Pete S Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I thought Mick Smith was "valleyofsouls" on Ebay? Yeah he is - but he uses another ID at the same time
Pete S Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Pete were you just on Ch4 News, fire in Staffs..? (sorry for off topic). No mate, whereabouts was it?
Guest Mrs Simsy Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 No mate, whereabouts was it? I saw it Pete, just caught the end of the report-a fire by a railway track. Witness was the double of you! Sorry for the off topic-on topic, i like the song, but not enough to buy it!
Baz Atkinson Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 remember this from way back thouight ti was shite then but to be honest ive spun it a few times now and its growing on me lol. BAZ A
Guest taffy Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Funnily enough sold one of these to mick in 1982 certainly not a record i'd want back again.
Tony Smith Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Remember Guy buying it off Roger Stewart at the 100 club, then playing it twice at Stafford the following week the rest is history. Fond memories of stamping around the TOTW with Lawson to it Edited January 2, 2009 by Tony Smith
Simsy Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 I was watching it but far too pricey the way it's going... Over £200 now, 2 days to go ...
Dave Pinch Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 linbin is his wife lynne`s id and therefore i suppose micks as well. valley of souls/linbin 666 dave
Guest Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Over £200 now, 2 days to go ... TOP tune though (and fond memories of Stafford for me too I must admit! )
Simsy Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 TOP tune though (and fond memories of Stafford for me too I must admit! ) I agree top tune indeed. I think the whitness and the guitar/piano is what puts the purists off. One for the mod brothers!
De-to Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 if this was ever played at wigan (was it???) im sure the anti wigan mob would slag it off as just another poppy type casino tune,imo of course,
Simsy Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 if this was ever played at wigan (was it???) im sure the anti wigan mob would slag it off as just another poppy type casino tune,imo of course, I think it was broken at Stafford as Tony said.
Simsy Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 Soul Joe Clements - Ever Ever - PLEXIUM Anyway will be watching with interest to see what this goes for Winning bid: £298.00 Well still a 'money' sound it would seem?
Denbo Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Winning bid: £298.00 Well still a 'money' sound it would seem? Well, it IS very rare. This is only the second copy I've seen since about the mid seventies. I did HEAR of another one but that was many moons ago too.
Guest Scarborosoul Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I think it was broken at Stafford as Tony said. Stafford obviously didnt break all of them then........... Rick
Benji Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Winning bid: £298.00 Well still a 'money' sound it would seem? I expected it to end much higher. Dug out the "British Northern vol.1" CD on Goldmine the other day. Released somewhere in the mid 90s, the liner notes quote prices for most tracks and Soul Joe Clements was 150 quid back then. Considering that much more commond 45s increased heavily in value, (e.g. Chants "Baby I don't need your love" have quintupled since then from 20 to 100), Soul Joe Clements didn't...

Wiganer1 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Stafford obviously didnt break all of them then........... Rick ======== minshull played this wigan..guy reactivated it at stafford
Simsy Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 Well, it IS very rare. This is only the second copy I've seen since about the mid seventies. I did HEAR of another one but that was many moons ago too. Well £382 at the end of 05 (below) was maybe the biggest money for this yet, but as said, it doesn't come up that often. will be watching with interest to see what this goes for as Popsike prices vary .. 2/11/05 - £382 (Ex) - 19/10/06 - £161 (SOL).. Stafford obviously didnt break all of them then........... Very good Rick! I expected it to end much higher. Dug out the "British Northern vol.1" CD on Goldmine the other day. Released somewhere in the mid 90s, the liner notes quote prices for most tracks and Soul Joe Clements was 150 quid back then.

I thought it'd go for a bit more maybe, but who has big money to throw around this time of year - not to mention economic climate etc.. If it was maybe black less guitary/organ, then £££££'s?
Denbo Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Stafford obviously didnt break all of them then........... Rick I wasn't suggesting that Stafford didn't break the record but it WAS known amongst English label collectors earlier than Stafford, that's all. Not really sure if it got plays before Stafford, perhaps because it was so little known and so rare even then. Knowing about a record back then and being able to obtain one in order to play it at venues were two different things. The English collectors would have been keen to snap up any copies available at the time and certainly not all English collectors were DJs back then, unlike now.
